[QUOTE="Lil, post: 657253, member: 17309"] Hey! Some people have electric coil who just can't afford to replace the stove that came with the house! :p (Or rent!) Oh, I'd LOVE a Viking! But I doubt that will ever be. Talk about awful stoves...Jabber and I moved into a house with a big kitchen with lots of cabinets...and a 27" drop-in space-saver range. :( The oven is so small that when I can bake two pies or a layer cake, but that's the only thing that two of will fit. I can't put in two 9x13 pans. I do Thanksgiving mainly in crockpots. It has THREE small burners and ONE big one. ONE. So, one big pot at a time. Forget making sauce and boiling pasta at the same time. When we moved in we planned on replacing it. We went so far as to hire a company to reface the cabinets and the salesman said they'd be able to cut down the cabinet the drop-in is in so we could slide in a 30" range. Then the workers got there and refused. The cabinets are still not redone. The oven is off now. It's probably easily a 25 year old stove. Maybe even original to the house (45 years) but I don't actually know the age. Replacing with a similar size is $1,200+! Yes, you read that right. To replace this awful stove with another awful stove is about 3-4x the cost of a 30" stand alone. But upgrading means cutting the cabinets and that means hiring a finish carpenter or cabinet maker. So we've lived with it. For 13+ years. [/QUOTE]
